Is anyone playing Assetto Corsa or ACC using VR? I have a Oculus Quest 2 and I cannot get the frame rate where I think that it should be. I am running it on a USB 3 cable that had a lot of good reviews on Amazon.
I have played with all the settings many times. The Oculus settings, the VR Stream settings, changing settings on the headset in SideQuest and the setting in AC and Content Manager. I am not getting over 35 FPS. There are not a lot of good posts that I could find to help me. ACC looks like trash, so I have been playing AC.
Any ideas where to look? any links to someplace that can offer help? I have been looking on facebook groups and reddit, none of the web forums I found have been too helpful. I dont care for youtube as I get sidetracked and wind up messing with something totaly unrealted.
I have a similar PC setup as you (substitute your AMD processor for an Intel overclocked to 5.1 GHz with the same GPU) and AC runs pretty decent on it. I run a Windows MR headset though so I use Steam VR with it so I'm not sure I can be any help to you. I know in Steam VR playing with the supersampling really cleared up the image for me but that won't gain you any framerate. Good luck though, there's so much cool content for AC that it is worth figuring out.
Unfortunately the Quest 2 does not send native video and audio through USB. It has to compress it similar to the process to compress audio and visual for streaming but it must do so dealing with something like 4x the normal resolution compared to twitch streaming. This means it must earmark a fair amount of computer capability to do so. Some games deal with this better than others.
While the core count and clock speed of the 2700 processor are great for what it is it is still the equivalent of an i3 in the cache and pipelines to the PCI express channels. Sims are incredibly processor intensive and the compression on top makes it all the more difficult. I think the system would be able to handle Asetto Corsa with a native video headset like the Rift S but the extra compression overhead is just pushing it too far. I don't think turning the in game graphics down will help as the bottleneck is likely the processor and not vid card.
For that reason I recommend you lower the bit rate of the Quest 2 connection which will ease some of the load on the processor. You should be able to start increasing the graphics in game to send some of that load to the video card and balance it out so the overall picture quality is decent while maintaining the frame rate. Lower the refresh rate of the headset to the lowest you are comfortable with for example I have no issues with the 80hz the Rift S runs at for racing games.
While the Quest 2 is very impressive for the resolution and refresh rate it can output even the beefiest computers mostly only hit those numbers on very easy to run games like Beat Saber and Gorn. Sim experiences require much more out of a computer and compromises have to be made.
thanks for the write up. I found the USB test on the Quest app and the cable that I had (that had tons of great reviews) turned out to be crap. Luckily it was still in the window for an Amazon return. I got a new one, played with the settings and I am able to switch the Quest to 90hz and get a average of 89 FPS with the graphics turned up. The new cable made all the difference. I have only played AC and not ACC yet, and I let my iRacing account expire.
sim racing in VR is so cool. I am not faster, but I have been able to do 10 laps with +/-0.1 second lap time difference (practice - no other cars on track). I am very happy with it now.
That's fantastic and yeah I love VR sim racing. I'm glad you got your setup worked out. As stupid as $70 for a cable sounds I do think the oculus link cable is the best solution especially if you do room scale stuff and need to move around the flexibility and lightness of the link cable means more than most would think.
Near global shelter-in-place orders put a serious damper on the 2020 track day and racing season. The entire situation unfolded so fast that many of us were only weeks from our first track day of the year before two weeks off turned into an indefinite hiatus. Our cars were in the garage all dressed up with nowhere to dance. What happened in the quiet of social distance lockdowns? A sim racing revolution, an explosion in popularity.
That all brought us here. With the explosion in popularity has come more online opportunities, leagues, and popularity all around so people are scrambling for racing simulator setups. Everyone from Formula 1 drivers to pre-teens are jumping into Sim-Racing in droves.
If you have a computer with even halfway decent specs you should be able to run Assetto Corsa and iRacing. My brother dug his old Desktop out of his basement for me to use. It was good when built, but is over 10 years old now. Both iRacing and AC call for modest computer requirements but I can attest that they ran fine on that old desktop even though it was well below the published minimum specs.
Some people are fine playing racing games with a console controller. My brain is not wired for console controlling, with Mario Kart as the sole exception. So whether I was on PC or Console, I needed a wheel.
I bought my previous wheel when I was using the Xbox 360. Someone on Craigslist was selling it because their kid never used it (or maybe was grounded?) Took a 20 minute drive, paid them $25, and had a pretty capable setup.
For me? After playing on that cheap Ferrari Replica wheel, I broke down in December 2020 and bought a G29 on sale from Amazon. The wheel is marketed for Play Station, but also completely PC compatible. I have been putting more time in online leagues, and the more normal steering has been the single biggest factor in helping me stay competitive. Another helpful feature that surprised me was the brake pedal, the G29 had a much heavier brake pedal that was close to life and helped with pedal modulation.
Are you someone without the tools, material, or skills to build your own? PLENTY of people attach the wheel to a desk and use whatever chair they have to sit in. The largest hurtle with using a desk and chair is stability, but with some creativity you can keep everything from moving. Straps and Zipties are both popular ways to tie a chair to a desk or other temporary gaming rig.
So, if you already have a moderately powerful computer that can run the games, it is very possible to be up and running under $100. If you want a Decent PC and decent wheel, you can get up to $500 pretty quickly. If you have an Xbox One already, you can also be up and running without spending much. The #1 Takeaway: whatever your budget, you can usually piece together a decent sim setup.
The guide has been broken down into six different steps so if you already have a head start skip to the section you need help with. Additionally, throughout the guide there will be a number of other articles linked within that will go into more detail on particular topics.
Before you go to steam and buy the first edition you see of ACC there are a few details that need to be understood. The main point of interest before purchasing is that ACC comes with several different Downloadable Content (DLC) packs that add a host of new cars and tracks to the game. Without some of these packs, there are pieces of content you will not be able to experience within the sim.
